After hearing what Wei Jiayi said, Gao Lan Mei"s face turned red as she also remembered the same thing. Dual cultivation. Her strength increased a lot from that time. In all honesty, her cultivation is not yet stable then add the incident of over devouring external spiritual energy that results to disaster.
Now she is stronger, but Feng Ji is not with her anymore. Regardless of how she feels about it, it does not matter. Gao Lan Mei never liked feeling regret and she will keep it that way.
An action will have an equal reaction. That is the law of balance.
Ignorant or not, a being should be accountable to the mistakes that he has done, regardless of the consequences. That is the reason why the Creator gave beings free will.
Placing the incident temporarily at the back of her head, Gao Lan Mei stood up to serve the first dish that she was able to successfully make without blowing anything up.
Gao Lan Mei served the dish on Wei Jaiyi"s plate. She knows that it smells bad for some reason, even Li Mao is not sure why, but it should be edible. Right?
Wei Jiayi was initially looking forward to Gao Lan Mei to cook something for him. But now, he is more worried as he slowly removed the cover of the dish.
"You don"t have to eat it." Gao Lan Mei whispered softly. She intently looks stare at Wei Jiayi who have a skeptical look on his face.
Wei Jaiyi completely removed the cover to find that he was served with a noodle dish mixed with meat and vegetables.
It looks decent, but the smell is just too awful. With his dragon"s sense, he can smell it more twice than any being.
"Er… Why does it smell so bad?" Wei Jiayi asked with a grimace, "Ah! Forget it." He decided against knowing more about what he is supposed to eat and just dig in.
Gao Lan Mei looked at Wei Jiayi hard, not wanting to miss out any of his reaction as he took the first bite. She was not able to miss his face suddenly turning pale.
"Stop!" she exclaimed frantically, "Do not eat it anymore!" Gao Lan Mei quickly went to Wei Jiayi gave him a gla.s.s of water, putting away her the first ever dish she was able to make.
Wei Jiayi coughed, "I am fine." He smiled at Gao Lan Mei"s worried expression, she checked on him. "It"s not that bad…" he a.s.sured with a grimace as he continued to cough heavily.
"What do you mean not bad? You keep on coughing so bad! Is your throat hurt?" Gao Lan Mei asked worriedly, as she gently checked on him.
"Mei Mie, I am fine…" Wei Jiayi tried to speak, due to the heavy coughing his throat is a little painful. Then he whispered hoa.r.s.ely, "You might like to move away as it is hard for me not touch you if you are this close…"
Gao Lan Mei frowned, while she is checking Wei Jiayi"s pulse, "Do not worry about that right now! This is life and death!" she hissed, indicated the leeway of his punishment.
Her head is bowed, fingers are still on his wrist as she concentrates on checking his condition, so Gao Lan Mei was not able to see Wei Jiayi"s victorious smile.
"Your heartbeat is too fast. Do you feel any pain on your stomach?" Gao Lan Mei asked concerned, placing her hand on a part of his stomach to check. "How about here?"
"Not now. But earlier there was a sharp pain…" Wei Jiayi said his face still pale, sweats forming on his forehead some running down to his face. He occasionally winces like enduring the pain.
